Extensive experimental tests under tension, shear And combined loading were conducted for A4-70 and A4-B0 austenitic tanless steel bots, s well as grade '88 carbon stel bolt for comparison purposes. From the test results, the austenite stiles stel bots showed ‘unigee behaviour such as much higher ductility and specific laure mode compared with convestinal carbon steel bolts. The predictions of existing design provisions (especially che AISC codes) fr stainless steel bolts Under cormined loading were ound tobe usaf in some circumstances. Moreover, order establsha com plete framework for facture prediction of tines stel bos, fie element models were developed ncorpo- Bote connections tooo ‘ating a racure model callocated by the bolt test esl Toilstrate the performance and applications of the Shes 1/3) during the loading process [35] Eq, (9) can be rewritten as: ey on [oat 19) yl ew! The above integration should be performed forthe critical element through the whole loading history upto the fracture load, According, to this relationship, the parameter C, can be obtained for bolts under pure tension: In the context of ABAQUS, C, was calculated by numerical integra- tion of the field output variables PEEQ and strestriaxialty forall the in tegration points within the critical element. The maximum C, calculated among these integration points (8 integration points within a C308! el tement) was finally selected, ‘Once the parameter C, Is determined. C, can be further calibrated based on the double shear test result, asthe stress riaxiality inthe dom- inant fracture region is generally inthe shear regime (—1/3 <7
